My bookstore boss is a bitch!
posted April 24th, 2014 at 11:00 PM
Seriously, the other day I very politely pointed out to my boss that her "off" humour had offended me only to have her reply that she was only joking and that since I was new I did not understand her humour the way some of the senior staff did. She was good enough to finally apologize, but then today she made a repeated effort to markedly single out a co-worker with the same "humour". When I checked in with that employee about her understanding of the Boss's sense of humour she confirmed the exact opposite of what the Boss believes about herself. No one appreciates her humour and everyone thing is is just looking for people to pick on because she has a need for that...

just a guess, but I would imagine a high percentage of the rather small demographic of 'bitchy bookstore bosses' probably read confessions. so watch out!

My boss and I used to fight it out in the sandpile. Seriously, challenge her.

Next time, tell her she's rude. Better yet, tell her she's not funny. Many people have an off-switch in their brain when they hear 'you have offended me.' Calling something offensive is so subjective, it's easy for assholes to dismiss the criticism. In any case she sounds like an asshole.
all of you at the bookstore...

Is your bookstore a corporate one with a diversity/political correctness policy that you can use against her?

Bullies always win, no matter what all the touchy-feely ads say. Management protects them.
kick her in the head
